Server is a MediaTemple “ve” server which is a Parallels Virtuozzo container with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid installed as the operating system.

The first step is to install packages:

apt-get update
apt-get install mysql-server
apt-get install apache2
apt-get install php5
apt-get install php5-mysql

Now set mysql service to start automatically:

update-rc.d mysql defaults
service mysql start

Next create a database for wordpress:

mysql -p -u root
create database wordpress;
grant all privileges on wordpress.* to 'wordpress'@'localhost' identified by 'YOURNEWPASS';
flush privileges;
exit;

Next we’ll download and install wordpress:

cd /root
wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
tar -xvzf /root/latest.tar.gz
rsync -avz wordpress/ /var/www/
rm /var/www/index.html
cp /var/www/wp-config-sample.php /var/www/wp-config.php

Now set the database credentials in /var/www/wp-config.php:

replace 'database_name_here' 'wordpress' -- /var/www/wp-config.php
replace 'username_here' 'wordpress' -- /var/www/wp-config.php
replace 'password_here' 'YOURNEWPASS' -- /var/www/wp-config.php
